If you know of students who were in the Class of 2023 who have not collected their yearbooks yet - please can you ask them to contact the school office.

These remaining 16 yearbooks have been waiting for collection for many months! 

We have a note of those who haven't collected on our signature sheet - however contact becomes more difficult once students leave school.

Consent forms for the Flu vaccine were sent home with your child several weeks ago. It’s very important to complete, sign and return the form ASAP, even if you don’t want your child to get vaccinated. The vaccine is given once a year. Flu viruses are constantly changing, so a different vaccine has to be made every year to ensure the best protection against flu. The vaccination session will take place at Knox on Monday 18 November. Meadowpark vaccinations will take place on 1 October 2024. For more information visit nhsinform.scot/childflu.

Photograph proofs from the photography session on Tuesday 10 September 2024 have now been issued to registration teachers.  These should have already made their way home, or will do so before the end of today (Thursday 12 September 2024).

One small class of S3s unfortunately did not have photographs taken for logistical reasons on the day - these students will be given the opportunity on Tuesday 5 November 2024 alongside those who were absent from school on the day.

If you have any questions please contact Mr Dempster via the School Office.
